I cruised over to the main line to check and at 2:00 there had been 28 bucks taken with only 1 or 2 decent bucks according to the eyes in the woods dude.

My wife had spike number 10 for the day at the check station at 11am.

i spent most of my day up and around the 3040 road. we saw 3 doe's right after that hard hail/slush storm thing that happened at 10ish i think and that was it. i was honestly really surprised in the lack of movement i was seeing all day, in vail and morton.

Yelm hunter · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:49:29 PM »

Here is a pic of my friends Deer that she got today in Vail. Towards the end on the left side she said.

Thats a nice buck for vail right there. We saw 10. One small spike that I passed. saw most of ours at the end of the day

Yelm hunter · « **Reply #12 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:57:18 PM »

Ya I passed on a small spike this morning... I'm taking my nephew up there tomorrow. I hope he can see me get a deer tomorrow...

I got mine opening weekend out Cooks Hill area. Im in the Army and from here and told a buddy from work about the Vail area and showed him on a map where to go, he went out there today and got a really nice fork n horn. My brother in-law goes to the same area in vail, all he say was 19 does lol. Ill be out with him tomorrow though.

kglacken · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:07:37 PM »

Im heading back out in the afternoon tomorrow. We did se a doe that had been shot in the hind quarters. It was bleeding pretty bad but was getting around really well

Are you from Oregon originally?

mainer78 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:27:25 PM »

Me and my son went up at 530PM after our softball game. Saw 4, and jumped 2. Hopefully we can see something with horns tomorrow... First one looked like a buck, but as soon as i got out of the truck it was halfway in the woods so i didnt get a good look at it. Then some guy came bombing down the road. He asked if i saw anything, i said nope just looking for sign!!!

buckster · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:40:49 PM »

Do you guys go in on the Morton side?

cliffordingles · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:41:29 PM »

No i'm originally from Centralia.

buckster · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:44:26 PM »

So just main vail loop gate.

cliffordingles · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:53:06 PM »

buskster - didnt know you were talking to me, yes i use the vail gate. The Big Hanaford gate is rarely open anymore...

crazysccrmd · « **Reply #21 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:55:01 PM »

Got a medium sized 2pt with a small rack friday in my area I walk in, way away from the main line craziness and idiot hunters.

buckster · « **Reply #22 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:57:01 PM »

Ahh I see yeah just trying to find my buddy a first buck any good places to walk in? During week and I'm not sure but tomorrow might try afternoon

crazysccrmd · « **Reply #23 on:** October 20, 2012, 10:03:01 PM »

Do you have the map of the tree farm? When I was looking for spots I just cross checked areas between the map and Google earth satellite/topo view. If you find something that looks decent just walk in and see what you can find. Plenty of deer in the area, we saw 15 does, 4 fawns, 2 bucks and a huge 5x5 bull in a single day.

buckster · « **Reply #24 on:** October 20, 2012, 10:06:52 PM »

Just glassin areas but yeah sound like you have a great area. Thanks fella

Walk in behind a closed gate, not around the main line. Sorry if I don't want to share too much, hoping it will still be there when the time comes.

grousetracker · « **Reply #27 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:20:40 PM »

if he is from centralia he would not go in the vail loop road, the big hanaford side is open. i could guess where the elk was but wont theres only a few spots the elk are in vail. i was in there yesterday and watched two parties shooting at 1 spike in a huge bowl, he got away too. poor spike had to run around 400yds with a ton of lead in the air, i counted 9 shots and he was still running, probably in onalaska by now.

crazysccrmd · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2012, 09:11:22 PM »

It was weird seeing elk and elk sign in the area I was at. I have never seen anything in previous years so it was quite the surprise. I was worried that the newest/youngest hunter in his first season would see antlers and shoot. Luckily that didn't happen.

Andrew8235 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 22, 2012, 07:19:48 AM »

i went yesterday, saw two doe and a buck right off the bat but thats all we saw!! i dont know if i was too high in the hills? if i should be sticking lower to the base lines??

buckster · « **Reply #30 on:** October 22, 2012, 09:18:42 AM »

thats what im saying

confused about the area as of right now..

Rdnkgirl88 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 22, 2012, 06:40:06 PM »

They were bedded down most of the day yesterday.

I saw 3 big does on Saturday and not a damn thing on Sunday.
